NightFloyd Transcript:The Argument-Winner's Ghost by Andrew SchultzBlackness by Michael PhippsThe Cenric Family Curse by Jonathan SnyderAs played on ifMUD on October 31, 2013

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions (but not always, as you'll see in this transcript). NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of
The Argument-Winner's Ghost written by Andrew Schultz,
Blackness written by Michael Phipps,
and The Cenric Family Curse written by Jonathan Snyder.
These games were all released during EctoComp 2013.
You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting
the IFDB pages:
The Argument-Winner's Ghost, The Cenric Family Curse, and Blackness.

WARNING!Below you will find a transcript of
people playing these games, and it goes without saying that
the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never
played these games, and think you might like to at some
point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead,
you might want to return to the interactive fiction
page.

Floyd | You read it in the local suburban newspaper. Harley Drotz crashed his
Floyd | SUV. A fine young American who worked as some unwholesome cross of
Floyd | lawyer and salesman not possible before the Internet revolution.
Floyd |
Floyd | Funeral November 2nd. Visitations, wake, etc. You don't care about
Floyd | that. You remember him as some guy who'd start an argument just to win
Floyd | it. The paper has his address--and you think back to long ago, when
Floyd | you and some friends walked by his parents' house. Everyone pissed on
Floyd | the lawn, except you. It wasn't that you hadn't drunk enough Kool-Aid.
Floyd | You were just a bit scared to. Your friends punched you for that. And
Floyd | perhaps you're mean, or biased, but the family quotes seem to
Floyd | indicate--well, he's still a total jerk. (push any key)

Olly teleports out of the room, library card in hand.

AdamM arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.

Floyd |
Floyd | You googlestalk a bit first, see the notes on the message boards, how
Floyd | he plays the same tricks you remember from high school, a bit refined.
Floyd | You flip a coin. You flip it again when it doesn't fall as you like.
Floyd | And you walk over to his townhome. You remember it's Halloween, but
Floyd | it's well past trick-or-treat time, so you won't get an indecent
Floyd | exposure rap if you just finish business. The rain gets started as you
Floyd | do. Once done, you hide in the overhang by the front door--which
Floyd | swings open. The wind beats the rain against you. (push any key)

minghua asks, ""googlestalk" is a real word now?"

genericgeekgirl says, "This one is by Andrew Schultz, so it will probably be awesome."

zarf says, "has been for a while"

Floyd | You hear a voice. "Dammit! Who is it now?" You tell him.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Milo McNeeble? Oh. Yeah. It's me. Harley Drotz. But you knew that.
Floyd | What you didn't know is, I've been kept here to help people like
Floyd | you--to help you do better in life. Apparently I'll need to help a
Floyd | bunch of you without you knowing. Like I did in life. They tell me
Floyd | I'll help you in ways I don't know. Whatever. I'll get my reward
Floyd | after. Remember how I tried to help you out? With girls, with sports
Floyd | teams, with ambition, with getting in shape? No? I was tough but fair,
Floyd | wasn't I? Well, now's the chance to show me--or thank me--or give up.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Oh, one more thing. Snap if you need me. I'm sort of forced to drop
Floyd | by. But don't waste time. I'm saying this for your own good. I'm also
Floyd | taking it easy. So don't feel too good if you win. This is part of my
Floyd | community service or whatever."

Floyd | had people in college tell you you should be. But you both made your
Floyd | choice and you're happy together. You don't care what the other looks
Floyd | like--too much--but you're grateful they take care of their own
Floyd | bodies. And you don't feel any need to answer anyone you've never met
Floyd | about your sexuality. That's just a nosy question.

Floyd | you should, but hey, neither does Harley. "Ah-ha!" you say. "That's
Floyd | why your place is so minimalist!"
Floyd |
Floyd | The wind begins to blow. Whoos and ahs prevail. "It is judgement time

Floyd | through your stuff!
Floyd | Speaking of which, give me back mine!

Floyd | "Unable to finish the deal, there, McNeeble. You just couldn't give me

Floyd |
Floyd | As you go, you hear "Got someone else to help. Yeah? Who're you? Oh.
Floyd | Navin McNoggleston. Yeah, I remember you. Listen, I was sent here to
Floyd | help people like you. People less exciting than me...I'll get my
Floyd | reward when I'm done. They said so."
Floyd |
Floyd | You stop and think. Maybe you don't want to pour it on, but on the
Floyd | other hand, you don't want to be a total jerk. At any rate, you don't
Floyd | want to do that to most people. They won't be nearly as bad as Harley.

Floyd | you're awake. They'll tell you more about the operation and

Floyd | The doctors arrive shortly, and explain to you that after your
